Somehow it seems inevitable: a place becomes socialist,

it wants to crap on Israel.Recently several districts in southwest Scotland have expanded the boycott on Israeli products, and are now barring stores from carrying English translations of Israeli books. Shortly after Operation Cast Lead, the West Dunbartonshire Regional Council, located west of Glasgow, approved a bill that called to boycott goods produced in Israel. After the raid on the Turkish Flotilla to Gaza, the boycott included "a ban on the purchase of English translations of Israeli books and the distribution of these books in public libraries throughout the council's jurisdiction." The Scottish city of Dundee also joined the West Dunbartonshire by distributing "posters...calling on some 150,000 residents to refrain from buying Israeli goods." Israeli products will also have a special mark placed on them to make them more identifiable. No other country's books are being boycotted.

It is expected that "ten more Scottish councils may join the boycott."Hmmm, wonder if they're using a yellow six-pointed star as a 'nasty Jewish product'?

TV clowns hate people of conservative belief? And use the shows they control to whack at them? Only surprise here is that they actually admitted it, and you'll notice they only did to what they assumed a listener who'd agree.When Shapiro tells Fred Pierce, the president of ABC in the 1980s who was instrumental in Disney’s acquisition of ESPN, that “It’s very difficult for people who are politically conservative to break in” to television, he responds: “I can’t argue that point.” Those who don’t lean left, he says, “don’t promote it. It stays underground.”

Another video rolling out soon has House creator David Shore acknowledging that "there is an assumption in this town that everybody is on the left side of the spectrum, and that the few people on the right side, I think people look at them somewhat aghast, and I'm sure it doesn't help them.""We're VERY tolerant and accepting. Except to those nasty people."

One or more burglars bashed in a steel door at the Sooner Tea Party’s Oklahoma City headquarters over the Memorial Day weekend and escaped with donor records, photocopies of checks, blank checks and other items, the leader of the conservative political organization said Wednesday.

Criminals in Wisconsin can turn to family members to hide murder guns, bloody clothes and other evidence, and prosecutors are powerless to punish those family members under current state law....Krusick had difficulty getting a hearing for the bill when her party controlled the Legislature.

Rep. Robert Turner (D-Racine), former chairman of the Assembly Committee on Criminal Justice, scheduled a hearing last year only after a Journal Sentinel reporter contacted him. Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee), former chair of the Judiciary, Corrections, Insurance, Campaign Finance Reform and Housing Committee, refused to hold a hearing or discuss her objections with the newspaper.Isn't that just wonderful? Good progressive values, that.

First off: Corporal Dipprasad Pun, if we ever meet the drinks or dinner are on me.Second: YOU FORGOT YOUR KNIFE? Grandpa and dad must've been pissed when they heard.

And something from Theo:A man was riding his Harley along a California beach, when suddenly the skycleared above his head and in a booming voice, the Lord said, 'Because youhave tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.'

The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride overanytime I want.'

The Lord said, 'Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormouschallenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching thebottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take!

It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it ishard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little moretime and think of something that could possibly help mankind.'

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, Lord, I wishthat I and all men could understand women; I want to know how she feelsinside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why shecries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, why she snaps andcomplains when I try to help, and how I can make a woman truly happy.'

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. - C.S. Lewis

Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. - Capt. Mal

A Rifleman’s Prayer:Oh Lord, I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home. I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch, then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses. Geek with a .45

"He's Black Council,", I said.

"Or maybe stupid," Ebenezar countered.

I thought about it. "Not sure which is scarier."

Ebenezar blinked at me, then snorted. "Stupid, Hoss. Every time. Only so many blackhearted villains in the world, and they only get uppity on occasion. Stupid's everywhere, every day." Ebenezar McCoy

“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition” ― Rudyard Kipling

This deprecation of individual freedom was objectionable to me. I am convinced now, as I was then, that man is an end because he is a child of God. Man is not made for the state; the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as means to the end of the state; but always as an end within himself." Dr. M.L. King Jr.
